I unboxed 2 pyro's boots I'm willing to trade one for another hat, if you're interested. http://tf2b.com/?id=giantpotato

I'd like to take one, but it seems like you have all my hats :p My stuff: http://tf2b.com/?id=rm20010

Well, there's my vintage Pyro's Beanie hat that you don't seem to have. How about that hat?

Oh and I just got another Summer Cooler drop. Anyone want that before it disintegrates sometime tonight or tomorrow? I'm done with Steam spending for today.

Wow, your reading comprehension is absolutely terrible. :laugh:

Fact is: The Festive (Winter) key wasn't the Stocking key, it was released a fair period of time after the Festives items (Dec 11 vs 23), and I didn't say that the Stocking key couldn't open Festive crates.

Wow, your attempt at trying to lie is absolutely terrible. :laugh:

You said, and I quote, "the free key was a 'Stocking stuffer key' which unlocked normal crates." You previously specifically stated that the festive key was only for the winter crates. If you had thought the stocking stuffer key could have opened both, you would have said as much. Your attempt to lie through omission is rather pathetic.

You were wrong, it's really that simple. Stop being a jerk to another user simply because you're upset he called you out on being wrong, even if he was slightly wrong himself. Everyone's wrong now and again, so man up and accept it.

Yeah, I can do that. I just added you to my friends list in steam.

Yes, and?

Festive key isn't the Stocking key, there is nothing incorrect in the assertion that the festive key was only for the winter crates. I've not stated anything incorrectly.

Try actually reading next time, it helps. ;)

Yes, and you were wrong in your assertion that the stocking key only opened regular crates. I never stated you were wrong in that the festive key isn't the stocking key. I clearly alluded to that by stating the other user was also slightly wrong. So, you were both wrong on different aspects.

In sum: You're wrong. Deal with it and stop blaming your own ignorance on other people. No one needs reading comprehension classes, but you clearly need to learn not to be a jerk to people when you're clearly wrong.

Direct quote (for the third time) to prove you're wrong:

There weren't the first time around, the winter keys only unlocked winter crates; the free key was a "Stocking stuffer key" which unlocked normal crates; and was introduced some time afterwards.

It did not unlock only normal crates. It unlocked normal and winter crates. You were even responding to someone who said Valve gave a key that allowed the opening of special crates. So your attempt at lying through omission is, again, pathetic. Good try though, bud. (N) Don't bother responding, we already know you're wrong; you don't need to try and clarify your error with rudeness anymore.

When did I ever say "only"? Oh wait I didn't.

Ooohhh snap son!

Maybe you should take my advice next time and read what I said.

Maybe you should take your own advice and take a reading comprehension class, because you're lying through omission. I clearly said that if you had meant that it could also open winter keys that you would have said that.

OH SNAP, SON! HOW YOU LIKE THEM APPLES? FEEL GOOD GETTING TOLD? CAUSE YOU JUST GOT TOLD, SON! LIKE THIS NICE TALKING DOWN, ANNOYING RHETORIC I'M USING? HOPE SO, CAUSE YOU'RE STILL WRONG! YEAH BABY! WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! :rofl:

"Lying through omission"

Hahahahaha. :rofl:

You're a bit special aren't you. Continue grasping at straws, that's all you seem to be able to do.

Never heard the term before? You must be new to the planet earth. I guess I am quite "special" if by "special" you mean "knows common sense information." :rofl: You said exactly what you meant to say. If you had meant to add a clarifying statement, you would have.

Shhhh, it's OK, don't cry. I won't keep telling people you were wrong. Except, that, ya know... you were. (Oh snap, son!)

And back on topic...

If anyone wants vintage items, I'm willing to trade mine. I have far too many to type them all, but if you have one specifically that you want, let me know. I also still have the Christmas tree hat for trade. I also have the tricorner hat and stove top hat for the Demoman that I'd trade if someone had a hat that I wanted. No other hats that I'm really willing to part with, though. Also: three name tags and two buckets of paint (dark purple, and the light purple/pinkish color). Dueling game I'd be willing to trade, too.

Sure champ, you keep telling yourself that.

You sure got me, missing out a word which wasn't even relevant to the point I was making. Such a heinous crime.

I've seen better from SPUF posters. :laugh:

:rolleyes:

I also heard that it's a "real fact" that if you delete all your items before opening a crate you're guaranteed to get an unusual!!!1

You were wrong, it's really that simple. I can give you a printout of the item schema if you don't believe me.

Dude you are getting called out by not just me but a few others as well... I can read a wiki just as good as the next person but you missed that.

http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Mann_Co._Supply_Crate_Key

Now..moving on, again.

Does anyone have any idea of the values of the summer items such as the Rogue spy suit jumping in value after today? The coolers expire.. so you can't get them anymore after that. But I'm also curious as to the coolers expiring and going into a regular #22 crate with something else in them but with a higher percentage on the unusual find like the #6's did. Anyone have any theories on this?

Does anyone have a Rogue's Col Roule?

I'm looking for a friend, she has a (or an) Tam O'Shanter, Stately Steel Toe, and Copper's Top for trade. :happy: Anyone who has one and would be willing to trade would be awesome.

I've got one...maybe two in a few when I open a few more coolers but I plan on holding on to them for a few days to see if the values jump or not.

So let me get this right:

Ayepecks now counts as a "few others". (Does he have MPD or soeemthing?)

You can't even see the distinction between the Winter and Stocking keys despite them being right next to eachother on the wiki.

You contradicted yourself by saying "Moving on again" after bringing the topic back up.

:rofl:

Edit: Oh, and you also seem to think that special crates transmuted into normal crates of the same series, when they actually were just all deleted. (Which again is mentioned on the Wiki)

Get the stick out of your rear. You were wrong about something and now you're trying to pick apart his statements simply because he corrected you (and was himself wrong about a few things). He wasn't even rude about it, yet for some reason you've got all butthurt and are taking it like someone just insulted your manhood. Seriously, get over it and drop it.

I have to take Athernar's side with this. Before he posted people were confusing the Stocking stuffer key with the Festive key. All he pointed out was that they were separate keys. He did not post anything wrong, he said the stocking stuffer key could open normal crates, which it can. He didn't say it could only open normal crates. For all you know the argument about a missing word could go both ways, he could have wanted to say the key also opens normal crates. Now, lets end this nonsense and get back to the business that is Trade Fortress 2. :cool:

Someone gets it! Woohoo! Props to you giantpotato. Agreed on the last point too.

I'm in need of a can of Team Spirit for testing purposes; and would rather now spend any money on actually buying one. Again, I can offer other paints, raw metal, items or a combination of the prior.

Take a gander and shoot me an offer if you've got a can: http://tf2b.com/athernar

Interested in helping my friend out with her request? I'll get the items from her when she logs on.. What do you want for it out of the items she has?

Why do you need Team Spirit for testing? The TF2 wiki shows the colors of all paintable items.

The way Team Spirit paint works changed in the Uber update, resulting in the current bug that causes hats painted with TS prior to the update to show up as red on blu players.

I run the TF2B backpack site so I want to grab a can so I can keep an eye on it (Without having to watch other people's backpacks), as I've reported the issue causing the bug to Valve.

I can explain the specifics if you wish.

The wiki never said anything about the coolers getting deleted until they were and it was updated almost instantly but good job on trying to make it look as if something was missed when I was already on it. As for contradicting myself..it's a internet forum, at some point you bring up the subject once again but yes I did indeed move on as I'm doing so still.

But Value really screwed up just deleting the coolers and not turning them at least into scraps or something useful I know people that stocked piled them things up!!

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline.
